Event details

The amendments to the 'chain of responsibility'
provisions of the Heavy Vehicle National Law are set to commence
across all states and territories (other than WA and the NT) in
late 2017. The changes mean that everyone in the chain of
responsibility for a heavy vehicle has a primary duty to ensure, so
far as is reasonably practicable, the safety of their transport
activities related to the vehicle.

This duty extends to eliminating or, where elimination is not
possible, minimising safety risks and the risk of damage to road
infrastructure, so far as is reasonably practicable. The failure to
discharge a primary duty of care is an offence that can attract
jail terms and penalties of up to $3 million.

This webinar will outline the changes and what they will mean
for the road transport industry and participants in the supply
chain who use road transport operators.

Attendance at the webinar will assist road transport operators,
other participants in the supply chain and their advisers to
understand their new obligations and what modifications they need
to make to existing practices before the legislation commences.

We hope that you will be able to join us.
